We live in a world with 7 coming onto 8 billion people.

What % of this population do you feel have their opinions about something swayed by the following:

Headlines
Influencers
24 hour cable news

No big deal, though.  Enjoy the show.

The show is enjoyable and being broadcast to many more people. All of this is just gateway to adoption.

For reasons beyond my fathom, those Winklevii media darlings seem to attract a disproportionate amount of media attention.  Any time they kick up a fuss, lots of people tend to follow.  This whole thing is merely a storm in a teacup and there is absolutely no threat to any Bitcoin fundamentals.  I just figure it's probably going to be a big song and dance and that there will probably be some resulting tumult in the markets.  No big deal, though.  Enjoy the show.

FUD is fucking real. Roll Eyes Not with just BTC, but fearmongering and misinformation are serious issues in our world.
People that harness high number audiences and propagate FUD are the worst man.
Your personal text has more meaning than many uninformed investors think.

14 years going strong
21,000,000 mainnet coins made
Impossible to double spend
I lose value you gain value
Cryptography
Pure software
Exchange of information in the presence of adversaries.

And no one’s officially in charge of it.

When there is something that is finite, and someone tries to horde it all and abuse it’s value, that finite thing almost always gets lost (human stupidity), stolen (human maliciousness, or reabsorbed by the general population.

And people still gonna knock on this shit?

I for real hope January 8th passes like 2012 on the Mayan calendar and nothing happens, I’m tired of all these crashes aren’t you guys??

Nah, pretty sure there's going to be some pretty serious controversy and drama coming very shortly.  Expect severe volatility.  Like... more than usual, I mean.

Barry's fucked it.  Buy when it gets good.  Get the popcorn ready until then.

Why did so many people not see an issue with this statement being on their homepage?

Bitcoin is holding so nicely at 16k and many people on the WO are suggesting that DCA is best to start right around now Undecided.
